Triple Treat

During a recent shoot, I was talking to the stylist and asking her what her considerations are when buying a dress. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that we look for the same three things:

1. A classic silhouette
2. A vibrant print
3. Nice draping

With so many brands to choose from, it's easy to find dresses that fall under these three items. But once in a while, you find a dress that doesn't just have one or two, but all three.

Such as this winner of a dress.

1. It has a classic shift silhouette. The neckline is a modified boat neckline. The length of the hem and sleeves are both very flattering.


2. It has this vibrant firework print that looks slightly abstract. From a certain distance, it looks like a galactic print.


3. You'll notice that both the bodice and skirt are draped. It makes the dress fall nicely on the body, flattering what needs to be flattered and hides what needs to be hidden.


Finding this dress was definitely a treat.
